Farmer's Markets in SF

I know it's out of the way for you SF-ers, but if you ever end up in the North Bay then the Occidental farmer's market is to die for. In addition to the great local produce characteristic of Northern California, they bring in some of the best food vendors I have seen at any farmer's market, period.

My favorites from this week included a Mediterranean vendor with their own homemade pita chips, an Indian stand, and an organic farm that has both meat and veggie options - vegetarian selections include quinoa/garbanzo burgers (cheddar cheese and avocado not included, but a must) and my personal favorite - green chili mac and cheese with a fresh garden salad.

This market happens on Fridays from 4 PM to dusk (head over to Barley & Hops before or after for one of their many Oktoberfest specials this month) and you can probably catch many of the vendors at other SC farmers' markets, listed here:
